A different Horror trip
I've been wanting to see this for quite a while, so glad it showed up on Netflix and appears to be made by them as well.
It's definitely one that likes to build on tension and how the characters react to their surroundings. More in common with the Descent than Blair Witch for me, which is a good thing. The ending was a bit abrupt but it least it gave some explanation of what was going on. Top marks for being a bit different to most horror films relying on jump scares.

A Classic Disney Film
From the Golden age of Disney, 'The Lion King' combines beautiful animation, a solid story, humour and also some real tension and emotion. All topped`off with some great songs. That's why this is my favourite Disney film.
Even though there have been some successful remakes of Disney's classic animations, I feel that the new version of this story isn't going to live up to this animation. If it isn't broken, why try and fix it?
If you want film for both children and adults, I definitely recommend this.

A so-so remake of the cult classic, although this time it is totally different characters and story but with the same idea. So if you have seen the original, if not then why?, you already have a good idea of how it will turn out. This is one of the main problems as it loses any sense of tension of the first film with its setting on a remote island. Despite the low budget TV movie feel, it was still watchable with a young trendy cast. Don't rush to see it but it's not that bad.

Great Sfx (1 more)
Cool set designs
Slightly different but still fun
After seeing some of the trailers I wasn't sure how this would pan out. The whole weaponising Dinosaurs from the first Jurassic World seemed like a thin plot line. At the end of the day it still boils down to escaping more Dinos on the run.
The Sfx are very good and there is plenty of tension as the characters get in various states of peril. Overall maybe not quite as good as the first one but if you are a fan of Jurassic Park, you'll happily sink your teeth into this!

For the majority of this book I was clueless as to what had happened and who had done what to who! But that is a good thing! It was only in the last few chapters that everything did finally come together and it was done very well. Loved the back and forth between the 90’s, 2016, 2018, diary entries and emails. Even with all the back and forth, it was easy to follow and did a great job of keeping the story moving while ramping up the tension.
An excellent debut thriller that will have you checking those shadows!

This book totally messed with my head! I loved it!
I'll admit it's a strange one and I haven't read anything like it before so to me it's definitely original. It's also very creepy and very tense. The author is great at building tension, it starts from the very first page and doesn't let you go until the end...even then you'll be thinking about it with your night-light on.
It's pretty scary to think this kind of thing happens in real life...talk about nightmare neighbours.

fab read
This is the second book in this series by this author. This is such an amazing story, so beautifully written with such emotions in every word. You need to read the first book in this series to fully understand the story between the characters. This book has mystery,drama, action and lots of tension. Amazing wellwritten characters, you will fall in love from the start. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended series

After @Andy K 's review, I moved this film up on my to-see list and watched it after Honey Boy at my local indie theater. I'm so glad I did.
The movie clocks in at over 2 hours long, but it didn't feel like it. The interesting thing about the title, is which family are the parasites referred to in the title. The tension is on point, and when the climax of the film finally hits, it pays off.
I don't want to say too much more about it, only that it's a must-see.
